operates on very low pressure it is very compact and lightweight it leaves room for custom work because it isnt aned or milled comes with tornado valve the best on the market

Weaknesses:

the only thing bad is that it isnt anoed but other than that its amazing and another thing is that the vert feed tube isnt threaded but i think that they started to put threading on it now but im not sure

Conclusion:

if you have the money it is well worth the money from my experince aka has a great costumer service and it is a great uprage espeically if you have a rh feed or you are looking to bulid your own custom gun

The vertical feed is a real plus, being ambidexterious. The length of the mini keeps me in tight playing front. I also like the wire nubbin better, as it doesn't harm my superfly bolt.

Weaknesses:

I was a little bummed to see a stock valve when I tore the gun down, but I bought it used, so someone probably still has my valve. Fixed that problem with dremel. The shorter mini body makes for a higher operating pressure. That was also fixed with a chamber on the front block.

Conclusion:

I think it is a great body. For the money you get vertical feed and one of the best valves on the market. With the two modifications it dropped my pressure from 400 to 200psi. I bought my whole gun for $650 totally tricked. $300 is still pretty good though, that is what my friend payed for his 2001 vert feed body, nothing else.

everything that I have on mine except you might want an evil pipe barrel

Strengths:

Weight
Price
Size
Accuracy
Consistancy

Weaknesses:

autococker wich means high matenance cause of the moving parts

Review:

ACCURACY- awesome unbeatable accuracy
WEIGHT- very light and small get it with a short barrel and its a tape runners dream
PRESSURE- i run this baby at 160 psi lowest running gun i've ever seen with the exception of the Nova (discontinued). I would definetly recommend getting it with the side winder reg soooooo 1337
CUSTOMIZABLE- since aka only sells the body you can do whatever you want with it mine is a monster whomps evry other gun on the feild

Conclusion:

Get This gun! NOW!... WHY ARE YOU STILL SITTING THERE I SAID NOW! if you build this gun like mine it is the best gun ever. operating pressure is 160 and i can rip this thing like an electro. its also uber small and with the ricochet and the 10 inch boomy its very hard to hit me on the gun. the short barrel also makes it so when i chop (very rare) within 5 shots im shooting as accurate as ever. I find it so funny when you walk onto the sup air feild and half of the players clear out to the hyperball feild cause they dont wanted to get owned and look like squids.

A palmer front end and a belsales slider or aka hinge.
A clamping feedneck and a sidewinder reg.

Strengths:

Accurate
Well Made
Great company

Weaknesses:

Susceptible to bad timing but this is human error.
higher cost (comparable to custom cockers)

Review:

This aka marker is better than a wgp cocker in every way.
It has tighter tolerances
a better valve set up (no just in efficiency but in ease of removal)
a super efficient and light stock bolt
It is smaller
Doesn't come out of time, all parts that could wiggle out have set screws and the the hammer has nylon set screws.
The combination of a sidewinder and the aka internals gives super consistency yielding better shot to shot accuracy.

I give it a ten since it beats out all of it's competitors. The only downside is that it has a higher cost due to having to buy pneumatics and get it annodized.

Conclusion:

I would buy this over an wgp gun anyday. I have owned two roundbody merlins and have been very pleased with both.

Still a mech cocker.
Some are hard to Eblade/Race, but it can be done.

Review:

Well, I have in my posession what is in my opinion the mech cocker to end all mech cockers: a Merlin. The legendary AKA quality and attention to detail are evident in every little bit of machining and milling in this marker, as they are in every AKALMP gun.

Mine is milled in a JMJ roundbody pattern, and it helps decrease weight significantly. However, these are already very light as it is, especially with the super-tiny front block setup. The fact that most of these are p-blocked is a cool little plus.

Of course, AKA internals are a must; their use will allow ridiculously low operating pressures. I believe mine is in the low 150s.

Not much else to say...it is the cream of the crop when it comes to cockers, and I highly recommend picking one up.

I just got a merlin from a friend and i love it. i want to eblade it soon. It is very fast and quiet. i have never chopped either. also very quiet. it has a very low operating pressure of 140-180 psi. i recommend trying one of these out.

this gun is very light i can shoot it all day with no problem. it may not be as fast as a lot of guns out there but the accuracy and distance and more beats that out. this gun is very fast nevertheless for a mech cocker unless you upgrade to a e blade which isnt necessary if you dont mind. these guns not only work good on the field no matter what pos. you play it looks great also. if you buy this gun you will deffinately enjoy it and know for such a cheap price of this great of gun you got a deffinate gun out of it. deffinately worth it.

Conclusion:

a great buy for back players because it has one of the best distance and accuracy you will see out there.

Like I said earlier I honestly can't find anything wrong with this body, it is a great alternative to other low pressure bodies such as the orracle's, at a comparale price. What really won me over about this body was the simple fact that the body, is a mini-cocker body. It is a great upgrade for a front player, it's extremely light and compact. This matched with the e-blade makes and unbelievable marker.

Conclusion:

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to go LP. Very light and compact, great for a front player. At $300, it's a must.

Small-you can tuck in any xball prop
Light-always good
Accurate-its a cocker

Weaknesses:

S L O W
Hard to get parts for

Review:

If you have the money to drop, do it. I dont know if its worth the price on their website, but if you can get one in a trade, do it. Super consistent, light, small, durable, low pressure, and straight as a shotgun (jk, more like a fricken laser). Best cocker ever IMO. Then all you have to do is to slap an Eblade on it and you're ready to roll heads. Look for mine for trade in the forums.

EDIT: Just because you dont play front, doesnt mean you dont have to play tight when its a 3v1 in the last 2 minutes. I play back and am not the smallest person you'll ever meet, and having a small gun helps, trust me.

Conclusion:

Buy it now because AKALMP is a super awesome company and if you dont you'll end up getting shot by one and wish you had.
